buckbuster11 Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 I'm not exactly sure how many, but I'd say its around 20 or more. I've been bowhunting 13 years...taken 8 bucks...and probably close to twice as many does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildthing Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 I have been now hunting for about the last 5 years or so. I usually take at least 1 deer per season with my bow. I tag every deer I harvest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 I really have no idea. I'd have to sit down and add them up. I think I've averaged 1 or two every year since '93, except 2004 and 2006 where I didn't tag any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VABuckSlayer Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 I've been bowhunting for 20 years now and have taken somewhere between 25-30 deer with a bow. I have 1 P&Y buck. Over that 20 years I've had 4 years that I've blanked... including this past season. I was too picking this year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly Posted April 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 I started bow hunting in 1988. Had no idea what I was doing since no one I knew bowhunted and realtree forums were not available. There were several years I didn't bow hunt much because I didn't have a decent place to hunt. For over a decade I kept throwing away unfilled archery tags and learning what not to do. Finally in October of 2000 I shot my first doe (massive initial blood trail) but lost it in a corn field once the bleeding stopped. I shot/harvested/and tagged my first archery deer (6-point) in 2003. Got my first doe in 04, and a 10-point (P&Y) in 06. Last year was my best year to date with an 11-point (P&Y) and 2 does. That's a total of 6 for me. Just wait till this fall, I'll be in double digits! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUDRUNNER Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 7 in 10 years of bowhunting for me.2 bucks and 5 does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfisherfd2 Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Bow hunting exclusively for the last 6 years. 3 years of that I have not had property. So say 3 years and 2 bucks. first one was a 115 class 8 point. second was my deer from this past season. I've rough scored him on the boone and crocket as a non typical at 127 4/8 why they don't say 1/2 I don't know. It is an 8 point with the left side drop coming in at 1.25" Next year is looking better already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adjam5 Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Hmmm Lets see... I was a late bloomer when it came to bow hunting. I started with the bow in 2001 and on my very 1st bow hunt and the very 1st deer I saw I put in the freezer. With a compound bow that had plastic wheels not cams, and was an inch too long on the draw. Since then I have made at least 1-2 bow kills every year. The year I got my Mathews Outback in 04, I did lose a tall spike I shot, but recovered him a few days later with help from the vultures:rolleyes: Now I have moved towards the recurve. My goal is to be consistent enough with that, to take it hunting this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
